CHOCOLATES GALORE: The spirit of Easter was in full force at
Catholic Charities last month with several Catholic schools donating
2,340 chocolate eggs and bunnies to families and individuals doing it
tough. Kevin Morrisey, Gerry and Cheryl McCarthy and Peter Ferrier
(pictured left to right) assisted Joan Young from Catholic Charities
in packaging the delicious goodies for a range of community service
outlets and also to children at the Inverbrackie Detention Centre. The
chocolate eggs were generously donated by students from Thomas
More College, St Aloysius College, Cabra Dominican College and
Sacred Heart College Middle School.

More than 1000 Catholics
joined Archbishop Philip Wilson
on his pilgrimage around the
Adelaide Archdiocese through
the celebration of seven Stational
Masses.
The Archbishop travelled to
Marrabel, Elizabeth, Millicent,
Murray Bridge, St Bernadette's,
Payneham, and Ottoway for these
Masses.
The Archbishop reinforced the
Lenten practices of prayer,
fasting and alms-giving as well
as welcoming new members to
the Church, including 55 people
who had been baptised in other
Christian traditions. About the same
number were welcomed at the Rite
of Election at the beginning of Lent,
and have now received Baptism at
the Easter Vigil.
In his homilies, the Archbishop
spoke of the unfolding nature of the
Lenten liturgies. From the first few
weeks when the emphasis was on
the three challenges presented to
us for eating less, praying more and
almsgiving, the focus at the end
of Lent was on the person of Our
Lord. Archbishop Wilson invited
people to become engaged with
Jesus in their prayer and in their
lives. He concluded each homily
by drawing our attention to the
Eucharist which we were about to
celebrate as the presence again of
the death and resurrection of Jesus.
At the final Stational Mass at St
Maximilian Kolbe Church, Ottoway,
the Archbishop used the example
of Blessed John Paul II who, as he
became feebler, was able to reach
out to people more effectively
because of his love for the Lord.
At the conclusion of the Western
Deanery Mass a relic of the blood
of Blessed John Paul II, sent
to Ottoway by Cardinal Stefan
Dziwisz, was placed in the reliquary
under his statue at the back of
the church (pictured above). The
Archbishop congratulated Fr Marek
Ptak on receiving this precious relic.
The Neophytes and Newly-
Received will be welcomed and
congratulated at Mass in St Francis
Xavier's Cathedral on May 6 at
6pm.
